title: Quantification of changes in septal strain after alcohol septal ablation in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy-cases from the three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiographic MAGYAR-path study.
abstract: Patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy undergoing alcohol septal ablation are presented. Three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) is a new, noninvasive tool for quantification of myocardial deformation. In both cases, 3DSTE was performed 1 day before and 3 days after alcohol septal ablation to quantify changes in septal strain of ablated area. Results could suggest the possible role of 3DSTE in the quantitative evaluation of the success of alcohol septal ablation.
